        A#           A#7           D#      D#maj7
At the start of the news day, the fires begin
   A#            A#7          D#       D#sus4 A# A#7 D#
In words and in pictures, but I'm not listening
        D#maj7    A# A#7
I'm not taking it in

I'm going to go to the country, where nothing goes on
Going to bury my head where I can't hear the sound of bombs
Playing along

Chorus:
A#    F       D#       A#
Me, I'm just playing along
Gm     D      D#       G#  D#  A# A#7 D#
You and I, so many good people all
     D#maj7     A# A#7 D# D#maj7
Just playing along

I'm going to go to a bar where is the jukebox is on
Going to shut out the noise with a rock'n'roll song
Playing along

             F#           D#
I'm going to turn up the volume
             F#           D#
I'm going to turn up the volume
             Gm          F#
I'm going to turn up the volume
       G#           A# A#7 D# D#maj7
Till I can't even think

Tell us a tale of the proud and the free
Sing us a swingtime American melody
From 'Follow The Fleet'

Chorus:
Me, I'm just playing along
You and I, a billion people
All are just playing along

           F#           D#
I'm gonna turn up the volume
           F#           D#
I'm gonna turn up the volume
           Gm          F#
I'm gonna turn up the volume
        G#          A#
Till I can't even think

          F#            D#
I'm gonna turn up the volume
          F#            D#
I'm gonna turn up the volume
          Gm          F#
I'm gonna turn up the volume
         G          A
Till I can't even think

          Gm          F#
I'm going turn up the volume
        G           A
Till I can't even think
             Gm          F#
I'm going to turn up the volume
                   A#
Till I can't even think

I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think

I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think

I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
I'm going to turn up the volume
Till I can't even think
